MKS3P-5 DC60

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps

The MKS3P-5 DC60 are among the most common and popular ultra power relays used in a wide variety of applications. The relays have been designed with a voltage range of 6/10A, operating at 600 Volts (DC09) and the possibility of operating at 250 Volts (DC01).

Application field

The MKS3P-5 DC60 power relays are used to switch power in numerous electrical and electronic devices from high current-capacity motors to small electronic components. They are often used in industrial and commercial equipment to control large amounts of power and current from switchgear and circuit breakers. Additionally, they can be used to provide safety features such as motor circuit protection and current overload protection.

These relays have been found to be essential for automation systems due to their capability to control large currents, as well as their versatility. They are often used for controlling escalator motors, elevators, and transformer protection systems. Additionally, they are used in the renewable energy industry for controlling wind turbine starters and switching photovoltaic system components.

The MKS3P-5 DC60 relays are also ideal for motors with high power requirements, such as those used in pumps and actuators. They are used for switching pumps, hoists, cranes, and production lines in industrial environments.

Working principle

The basic principle behind the MKS3P-5 DC60 is that it uses a solenoid device to actuate two contacts. The solenoid is energized when current is applied, causing it to become magnetized. This causes a mechanical armature to move, thereby closing the contacts. When the current is removed, the solenoid becomes demagnetized, the armature returns to its original position, and the contacts open.

The MKS30P-5 DC60 relays offer high contact integrity, with a reliable and long-lasting performance. The high insulation resistance and contact gap ensure that there is no arcing or sparking when the contacts are opened or closed. The relays have a wide range of operating temperatures between -40°C and 85°C.

The MKS3P-5 DC60 relays are designed in a compact and lightweight package that can be easily installed and integrated into any device. The relays are designed for use in high vibration environments, with a minimum of leakage current over time. In addition, they are designed to comply with a variety of safety and EMC requirements, such as UL, CSA, and CE standards.

The MKS3P-5 DC60 power relays are a reliable and cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications. With their versatile design, strong performance, and high contact integrity, they are a great choice for any electrical or electronic device requiring the switching of power.
